An upcoming Paul McCartney documentary has fans in agreement after its trailer dropped.

Oscar-winner Morgan Neville’s new Amazon Prime documentary, Paul McCartney: Man on the Run, premiering on February 27, delves deeply into the formation of the 83-year-old’s second group, Wings, following The Beatles’ split. It promises to give viewers “unprecedented access to previously unseen footage” and “rare archival materials,” in an effort to capture McCartney’s “transformative post-Beatles era through a uniquely vulnerable lens.”

In the first teaser for Man on the Run, which had fans gushing, McCartney wonders what he would do after The Beatles broke up. Now, in the latest trailer, he says starting Wings was “about freedom.” Online, fans of the music icon are all saying the same thing: Wings is underrated.

In the new trailer for the documentary, released on January 14, McCartney mentions the depression he experienced after The Beatles’ breakup. He says, “The Beatles had been my whole life, really.”

He adds, “When we split up, I thought I’ll never write another note of music ever. I had fear of being a grown-up. I felt very depressed, but I was very lucky because I had Linda,” referring to his late wife and Wings co-founder, whom he married in 1969 and who died in 1998 at age 56.

McCartney, who executive-produced the documentary, also reflects on the beginning of his post-Beatles band, including the moment he asked Linda to join. “Well, we’ve got two members,” he recalled. “When did you first discover Linda could sing?” a man asks McCartney in the trailer. He replies, “On the wedding night.”

McCartney adds in the trailer, “We started Wings from square one. It was about trying to do something different. Wings was a dud when it first came out. If anybody badmouthed us, I was thinking, ‘I’m going to make the best record you’ve ever heard.’… People thought we were totally crazy, but that was our way.”

“John and I, we were just growing apart really,” McCartney recalls of his late bandmate, John Lennon, who died in 1980. “And now we’re off on another journey. We’d had arguments and all of that, but we’d loved each other all our lives. When we started Wings, it was about freedom. And, you know, we felt we finally arrived. Second time around.”

In the comments section of the YouTube video of the trailer, fans couldn’t help but gush over it. Several fans also pointed out that McCartney’s second group is underrated, with one person saying, “So many gems and underrated songs in the Wings catalogue!”

Another added, “Paul wrote songs he would probably consider throwaway, that other singer-songwriters would have dined out for a lifetime. He’s a genius,” as a third said, “Wings always felt like a musical love story between him and Linda. Denny Laine coming in was such a great addition. classical music from an undisputed genius!”

Yet another agreed, “I can’t wait for this! Wings getting attention is so needed, they’re so underrated.” Meanwhile, someone else simply gushed, “I think I’m gonna love this!”

Another pointed out by McCartney, “Even if he wouldn’t have written a single note after The Beatles, he would be a legend.” Another commented, “Paul is God! Can’t wait!!! This documentary looks amazing…and it sure will be!!”

In the first teaser for Man on the Run, McCartney wonders what he would’ve done after The Beatles broke up. “How can I ever do anything that is anywhere near as good as The Beatles? I was on my own for the first time. I had to look inside myself,” he says. The musician adds, “So, I put a new band together. I think we should start from scratch. It was a puzzle I had to unravel.”

“Wings was part of it, but it’s really the story of this person who has been on this ride to outer space with The Beatles. He’s been doing it since he was 17. He’s never known anything else in his adult life, and he has to figure out everything from scratch,” Neville told IndieWire in one of his first interviews talking about the film.
